“My dream is that every woman, everywhere, will know the joy of a safe, satisfying birth for both her baby and herself—one she’ll not need to forget.” - Marie F. Mongan, 1999
The HypnoBirthing® childbirth method is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birth.
It teaches you self hypnosis techniques to relax and work with your body for a more comfortable birth.
It empowers you and your birthing companion with the confidence to make the right choices for the best birth for you and your baby.
When you have your baby with HypnoBirthing®, you will not be in a trance or a sleep. What you will experience is similar to the daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie or staring into a fire.
